Republic of Korea Holiday Deals

If culture and history spark joy, Seoul is a superb choice with countless temples, palaces, and museums. For a more laid-back beach vacation, Busan is a popular destination with beautiful beaches and hiking trails.

If there’s one thing South Korea has down to a fine art, it’s public transport. The public transport system here is extensive and efficient so it’s not necessary to have your own wheels. If you’re planning to venture outside of the major cities, however, a car may be convenient.

The best times to visit Seoul are generally considered to be from March to May and from September to November as the weather is mild and pleasant. If, however, you dream of snow-capped mountains, aim to visit between December and February when the average daily temperatures hover around freezing and fresh powder is common. The summer months are known as the monsoon season, so perhaps rethink or pack an umbrella.

Eat delicious food, party, explore ancient temples, listen to quirky K-Pop, karaoke, party, take in awe-inspiring landscapes, and that’s just the beginning. One thing is for certain, it’s almost impossible to be bored in South Korea.
